As it drew near to the level crossing, the crew saw a Holden Rodeo dual cab utility travelling along an unsealed maintenance access track adjacent to the railway.</p><div>The utility continued along the access track and then, to the train crew’s surprise, it entered Mahers road and turned into the lowered level crossing boom barrier, striking the end of the boom. The utility came to a stand across the railway line.
